Lm1200 WiFi red light
I bought a byop SIM card from straight talk and got the 55$ plan for unlimited data on it, it gave me a new phone number for the device so I’m assuming it’s been properly set up unless I needed to go thru a different plan and not a phone plan that had data included because it’s not changing from a red light to give me access to WiFi.
Edit to add: connected Ethernet port to my computer and the page that pulled up after signing in just says “mobile broadband disconnected” and will try to connect and never will. Light stays red thru the whole process.

- I'm having the exact same issue! Have you come up with any solution?
- Not yet! I just bought a router today and connected it, so my computer, phone, ect have no problem recognizing it as a WiFi opportunity to connect to, but when connected it claims it doesn’t have any internet. I know my straight talk purchase went thru and works, so I’m not sure why it’s acting like it doesn’t have any data to go thru?
- I had to change the APN. For AT&T it’s TFDATA.
This worked perfectly for almost a week and now I can’t get an internet connection. Straight talk says it’s all good on their end. Any advice?
Hi CheyenneS
We'll make sure that we have Internet connection straight from the LM1200. Please bypass first the router and connect a computer to the LM1200 LAN Port. Can it go online?
If so, reconnect the WiFi router. Connect the Ethernet cable to LM1200 LAN Port and WiFi router WAN/Internet Port.
If not, kindly contact your Internet provider and ask for the APN settings. Then login to LM1200 settings page and add the APN settings.

Community Team- How did you get it to activate? It won't let me connect the SIM.
